We haven’t had a good caption contest in quite some time, so here goes nothing.

I absolutely love having Yahoo as my homepage. They consistently come up with stories that keep me entertained. In case you missed it, their latest headliner was of a tanning session gone awry.

As most of you know, I live the Sunshine State where I’m routinely amazed that so many tanning salons remain in business. Seriously, they’re everywhere. Now, I have some good friends that run a tanning salon (and quite a few who frequent them… ugh!) so I’m going to choose my words carefully. Let’s just say, it’s a business I’d never invest in, especially in Florida where it is 90 degrees for ten months of the year and the nearest beach or pool is a stone’s throw away. But we like what we like, and some of us like to be orange, so who am I to judge?

Either way, this poor schmuck below has apparently been abusing his tanning privileges.

At the Arnold Classic 2012, this guy, whose name Yahoo did not release in the article, strutted his stuff on the catwalk, bikini briefs and all, flexing his biceps, triceps and pectorals, for the entire world to see. The only problem is… he’s two-tone.

So put down those beach towels and warm up those imaginations, sports fans. Show me what you got for Mr. Tan Man down here. The winner of this week’s caption contest will receive one free bottle of Hawaiian Tropic SPF 50 and one slightly used, yet still incredibly stylish, banana hammock.

It’s not often you see an NFL coach take points off the board in a one-score game. Yet when Jim Harbaugh did it Thursday night, it made total sense.

With 43 seconds left in the San Francisco 49ers’ dominant second half, officials called a chop-block penalty on Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Paul McQuistan.

The penalty took place in the end zone, which meant a safety for the 49ers. That made the score 15-6 and essentially ended the game with a minute remaining. At least it was over until Harbaugh declined the penalty.

Say what?

In a strange sequence, Harbaugh decided not to take the penalty (or the two points) because the Seahawks came up 1 yard short on the fourth-and-17 play. The ball was turned over on downs. Harbaugh preferred to take the ball up 13-6 rather than let the Seahawks attempt an onside free kick after a safety.

There’s almost no way the Seahawks could have scored twice at that point, but Harbaugh’s reasoning was sound. You never know what could happen.

So an oaf like Goodell recuses himself from presiding over the suspended player’s hearing . And in his place , will be his predecessor Paul Tagliabue ( former commissioner & partner with law firm Covington LLC ) . How is that actually meant to show any form of impartiality and credibility ? Anally retentive morons are running and ruining the NFL .

I’m not sure how much the Yanks will eat of A-Rod’s remaining contract but I imagine they’d have to eat at least half for another team to even be somewhat interested.

Tomorrow’s battle for the SEC East in Gainesville between Spurrier and his former team should be another doozy. As a Gator fan, it’s the one game on the schedule I looked at pre-season and was worried about.

I had already tuned the Niners-Seahawks game out at that point but Harbaugh’s move to decline the safety made sense. Just not to those who had San Francisco covering the spread.

And let’s not hold our breath with Tagliabue uncovering things we didn’t already know about Bountygate. I don’t expect him to throw his successor under the bus.

Florida took it to the Gamecocks , and then I see the USF Bulls simply make mistakes in their game against Louisville that led to their loss . B J Daniels , way too inconsistent .

$114 million plus , is still owed to A Rod . Funny , remember when he was traded by the Rangers three years into the first $250 million contract he signed ? The Rangers had to eat 65 % of the remaining deal part of the trade while Rodriguez was with the Yankees . And Selig thought this , good for the game ? That in part , put the Rangers over the edge , as Tom Hicks and Ken Gillette pretty much financially mismanaged that franchise before taking it into bankruptcy . But fans simply overlook that , and opine as to the parity within the game . There is no parity at all in professional sports , as it all comes down to financial expediency and knowing how to assess talent .

The Gators are far better than anyone thought. The USF Bulls are far worse than anyone thought. Skip Holtz can’t walk into his office every Monday morning feeling good about himself. That team is not good. On the other hand, Mus, 130 or so miles to the north, is doing just fine.

Regarding A-Rod, I imagine it’ll take some shifty dealing to cast off a $120 million 40-year old that can’t hit worth a damn to a willing buyer.

A Rod is hitting alright , but he isn’t hitting a baseball . He’s out there , partying like a rock star and “layin’ the wood” to chicks like a porn star. It’s rumored that his run-in with Girardi prior to game one of the ALCS had something to do with him being out on the town , on the eve of the game . Jeter can get away with that as he has really produced in the postseason . Can the same be said about A Rod in the during baseball’s postseason fare ? Your thoughts .

There’s meant to be no crying in baseball or football(NFL). Cam Newton of late , looks as if yearns for the days when he was playing and being paid to play at Auburn . The Panthers look bad this season and Cam is having more than a sophomore slump . More like , he has fallen off the face of the planet in terms of his play now in comparison to last season .

Evander Holyfield has put off retiring once again , as he believes he deserves another title shot. What he deserves is a kick in the proverbial a#s once and for all. How many hits has he taken to his friggin’ head ?

ARod can do whatever he wants in his personal life, Al. Trust me, if I were him, I’d be doing the game.

It’s if and when that lifestyle affects his performance between the foul lines that pisses fans off. Such as him allegedly tossing a baseball into the stands asking some girl for her phone number? During a playoff game? Really? Like nobody was gonna see that?

Cam’s having a tough time at it these days. Looks like those sophomore slump predictors were spot on.

The Gators are really good, Al. Another tough one next week though against Georgia.

Hey, let me ask you your take on the Bucs yesterday and those two controversial calls that certainly didn’t go far in helping the Bucs pull out a victory.

cont’d …. if Moon would get Cam Newton to refrain from repeatedly throwing his teammates under the bus after each team loss that has taken place this season . That Panthers’ O line is liable to open up and suddenly allow a defensive opponent to walk all over Cam Newton’s a#s at some point in the future .
